  • One of the showroom’s standout pieces — in a collection that is defined by standout pieces — is the limited-edition, gold foil Qlocktwo by Biegert & Funk, which tells the time in words, as opposed to numbers. A jumble of letters covers the clock face, and becomes illuminated to spell out the time. There are English, Chinese and Russian versions, but there’s something about Arabic script that really lends itself to the artistry of the piece.
